Tools
Screwdriver, hairdryer.
Repair & Advice
After removing the back panel inside the freezer we found the freezer coils and everything was all frozen up not allowing any of the cold air to enter the refrigerator. We defrosted the freezer with the hairdryer first and figured out we needed a new heater coil because it wasn’t heating up to melt the ice on the freezer coils. We ordered a new defrost heater kit. Took the old one out and put the new one in. It probably took less than 30 minutes after defrosting. That was all it needed...works fine now.
